Jon Gosselin And TLC Settle Legal Dispute


Jon Gosselin, who gained fame as the father of eight children and as a star of TLC’s hit reality show “Jon and Kate Plus Eight,” has finally reached and agreement with TLC. Gosselin and his wife Kate split up and divorced a couple years ago after John Gosselin was caught in the public spotlight with other women. While Kate appeared willing to reconcile their relationship, Jon did not seem willing to work things out. Jon cited that he was unhappy in the relationship and that Kate was too bossy.

TLC eventually removed Gosselin from the show and renamed the program as “Kate Plus Eight.” After being removed from the program, Jon Gosselin sued the network for damages for breach of contract. In December 2009, the network won a preliminary injunction for the breach of contract suit. TLC defended themselves saying that Gosselin breached his contract when he appeared on numerous talk shows after all of the negative press he received.

Gosselin countered saying he had a right to use his media personality to earn a living and that the network violated Pennsylvania’s child labor laws when they filmed his children. Apparently, TLC and Gosselin have finally found a settlement, although the terms are held confidential.
